Today Brings Tomorrow (Revised)

I am a seventy year-old writer

Another new day has arisen

A new year’s ahead

A new beginning is born

Life could turn for the worse

Below loose rocks and tired verse

Or life could improve to be better

Accruing love letters and joining the jet-setters

I have weeks to grow wiser and stronger

I have months to ponder about my book of wonder

This new year I have gained a publishing sponsor

For my words I have written in her honour

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

      4. I have this little piece I wrote years ago hanging on my bathroom mirror
        “The tunnel is growing wider
        The light is glowing brighter”
        It’s there for me to read every morning.. 💙🌏😊📖

  22. Happy New Year, my friend. As you say, the times can go either way, better or worse, but there is so much time left to grow and improve. I love the themes you entwine and delve into, it’s brilliantly evocative especially with the current world on a global scale. I hope you have a wonderful New Year with lot’s of love and good health ahead. ❤ ❤
